Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan has estimated that the peak of Omicron infections in Indonesia will be reached in early February 2022.
The estimation is based on observations of other countries' experiences, where the Omicron variant reached its peak in the range of 40 days, which was faster than the Delta variant, he said.
"For Indonesia, we estimated the peak of the Omicron wave will occur in early February," Pandjaitan informed in a video statement received here on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, most of the Omicron patients are expected to experience mild symptoms, so the government has prepared a different strategy from the one used for handling Delta cases, he added.
